No, fungi are generally considered to be older than plants in evolutionary terms. Fungi are believed to have emerged around 1.5 billion years ago, while land plants appeared much later, approximately 470 million years ago. Both groups share a common ancestor, but fungi diverged and evolved before plants took to land.

Why do scientists not consider plants to be fungi?
Plants are made out of cells with cell walls constructed of cellulose, the fiberous pieces in plants. Fungi, in contrast, have cells walls constructed of chitin. Fungi are also heterotrophs, obtaining nutrients from other living organisms. Plants are autotrophs, creating nutrients from photosynthesis. Fungi don't have leaves. Plants do. In general, fungi are fundamentally different than plants. For that reason, scientists categorize them differently.
Is a mushroom a legume or a fungi?
A mushroom is a fungus, not a legume. Fungi belong to a different biological kingdom than legumes, which are plants that belong to the Fabaceae family.
Is fungy a tipe of plant?
No, fungus is not a type of plant. Fungi are a separate kingdom of organisms that are distinct from plants, animals, and bacteria. Fungi are more closely related to animals than plants.
Which two groups are closely related evolutionarily plants and animals plants and fungi fungi and animals?
fungi & animals
Why do fungi not belong to plants?
They are not producers and lack chlorophyll. They can not make their own food, though nether can some parasitic plants. Fungi have different cell walls than plants. Plants use cellulose to construct cells walls while fungi use chitin.

Why are fungi in different group to plants?
Fungi and plants are different in several ways. Plants are able to photosynthesize (with a few exceptions), have a cell wall of cellulose, have a MLS flaglellar system with multiple flagella, and have vascular tissue. Fungi are not able to photosynthesize, have a cell wall of chitin, have a single posterior flagellum, and do not have vascular tissue. Fungi are much better at exploring the soil for water and nutrients than plants (which is why most plants have a symbiosis with fungi).
What is one similarity between fungi and plants?
Fungi and plants are multicellular.
How are Fungi similar than plants?
they both grow from the ground....... please finish this answer if you can!!!!!
Do sperm swim to the eggs on fungi plants?
Sperm do not swim to eggs on plants like fungi. In fungi, sexual reproduction usually involves the fusion of specialized reproductive cells called gametes, which come into contact through proximity rather than active swimming.
What do fungi have common with plants?
Fungi are more closely related to animals than plants. They do share some similarity to plants, though. For example, plants and fungi are both able to synthesize the amino acid lysine (animals are not); however, fungi use the AAA pathway, and plants use the DAP pathway. Plants and fungi have cells walls. Plant cell walls are made of cellulose, while fungal cell walls are made of chitin.

Fungi and plants are different because fungi are not?
The fungi (singular, fungus) once were considered to be plants because they grow out of the soil and have rigid cell walls. Now they are placed independently in their own kingdom of equal rank with the animals and plants and, in fact, are more closely related to animals than to plants. I hope I helped! 😁
Which family of plants is older than the dinosourse?
